How Do We Start Coaching Sessions?
Call or e-mail me and we'll set up an initial phone meeting. Some coaches call this a "free coaching consultation", but really, we interview each other.
During this meeting, I try to get a sense of your personal style, your current situation, and your overall goals. In order to give you a feel for my style of coaching I also try to give you something that I feel will help you start moving in the direction you want to go -- now. You try to get a sense of my personality and whether you feel I understand you well enough to help you in the way that you need.
If we decide to work together (we may not -- coaching always works better if there is rapport, and to be honest, I'm not right for everyone), I will e-mail or fax you a coaching assessment packet to fill out and send back to me.
This information is important and is the basis for our first few coaching sessions. It allows us to use our time effectively right from the beginning.
Coaching Fees and Payment
I don't use contracts. I do ask that we start with an initial three month coaching agreement to give our work a chance to start working. If, however, you don't feel that you are getting what you need from coaching, you can stop at any time.
Fees can be paid either by check or credit card, and are due at the beginning of the month. Arrangements can always be made for more intense work, meeting with greater or lesser frequency, face-to-face meetings, and team/group/family coaching.
